To prevent injury, death, or property

damage, read and follow all instructions

and warnings, including labels shipped

with or attached to unit before operating

your new outdoor system.

Disconnect all electrical power to the

indoor air handler or furnace before

removing access panels to perform any

maintenance. Disconnect power to both

the indoor and outdoor units. NOTE:

There may be more than one electrical

disconnect switch. Electric shock can

cause personal injury or death.

Although special care has been taken to

minimize sharp edges in the construction

of your unit, be extremely careful when

handling parts or reaching into the unit.

How it works to keep you comfortable

Congratulations on the purchase of your new Trane outdoor unit.

Your outdoor unit is designed to work with a matched indoor unit

creating a system that delivers years of dependable service and

performance.

Your system will cool, filter, and dehumidify the air in your home.

Additionally, a heat pump heats the air in your home.

As the system circulates air, it also ﬁlters it. The system also extracts

excess moisture from the home to help control humidity in muggy

summer months.

Acquaint yourself with your new system by spending just a few minutes

with this booklet. Learn about the operation of your system and the small

amount of maintenance it takes to keep it operating at peak efﬁciency.

An outdoor unit is not a household

appliance. It’s a self‑contained system

that requires professional maintenance

and repair.

That’s why attempts at “do‑it‑yourself”

repairs on an in‑warranty unit may void

the remainder of your warranty.

Other than performing the simple

maintenance recommended in this

manual, you should not attempt to make

any adjustments to your system. Your

dealer will be able to take care of any

questions or problems you may have.

Help ensure top efﬁciency by cleaning

or replacing the ﬁlter monthly.*

When your system circulates and ﬁlters

the air in your home, dust and dirt

particles build up on the ﬁlter. Excessive

accumulation can block the airflow,

forcing the unit to work harder to maintain

desired temperatures. And the harder

your unit works, the more energy it uses.

Clean or replace your ﬁlter twice a month

during seasons when the unit runs more

often.

When replacing your ﬁlter(s), always use

the same size and type that was originally

supplied. Filters are available from your

dealer.

Where disposable ﬁlters are used, they

must be replaced every month with the

same size as originally supplied.

How to remove your ﬁlter.*

Ask your Trane dealer where the filter

is located in your system and how to

service it.

Just be sure to replace it with the arrows

pointing in the direction of the airﬂow.

* Before removing the ﬁlter, see the owner’s manual

furnished with the indoor unit.

Efﬁciency can be maintained

by keeping the outdoor unit clear

of snow, ice and debris.

Efﬁcient operation of your outdoor unit

depends on the free ﬂow of air over the

coil. Anything that blocks the airflow

causes the compressor to work harder

to move the warm air out of your house.

Buildup of snow and ice can restrict

airflow. As soon as possible after

accumulation, clean snow from the area

around the outdoor unit.

To avoid overworking your unit, do not

plant ﬂowers or shrubbery right next to

it. Also, make sure that nothing is stacked

against the sides of the unit or draped

over it.

Making sure your outdoor unit is kept

clear at all times helps it work at peak

efﬁciency.

Proper maintenance for maximum efﬁciency

If heating system is not operational during

the cold weather months, provisions must

be taken to prevent freeze-up of all water

pipes and water receptacles. This is very

important during times of vacancy.

Proper maintenance (continued)

How to operate your system for peak performance

When removing this moisture your system

must work harder than when simply

cooling the air.

That’s why kitchens, bathrooms and

utility rooms should have vents and

exhaust fans. These devices help prevent

accumulation of moisture throughout the

rest of the house so your outdoor unit

works less to keep you comfortable.

Many homeowners have found that

operating their system in continuous fan

mode (thermostat in the “on” position)

offers beneﬁts such as elimination of hot

and cold spots in the home and constant

air filtration. However, continuous fan

mode during cooling operation may not

be appropriate in humid climates. If the

indoor air exceeds 60% relative humidity

or simply feels uncomfortably humid, it is

recommended that the fan only be used

in the AUTO mode.

Setting the temperature.

Place the system switch on COOL, and

the fan switch on AUTO. Then set the

temperature by using the indicator on the

thermostat* control.

Now your system will cool your house

whenever the indoor temperature

climbs above the thermostat setting.

It will shut off when the desired room

temperature is reached.

In winter, it works the same way. When the

system switch is on HEAT, the system will

operate whenever the room temperature

falls below the temperature setting. Once

the desired temperature is reached, the

system will shut off.

Save energy with a

programmable thermostat.*

Program the thermostat for the

temperatures that meet your comfort

level. The Trane programmable thermostat

has up to four setup or setback periods

each day, plus weekend and vacation

programs.

Let the thermostat do its job.

Your system will perform most efﬁciently

when you let the thermostat control it.

Turning the system on and off manually

is usually much less efﬁcient. So let the

thermostat do its job.

We recommend keeping the temperature

setting at 78°F for cooling, 68°F for

heat ing. However, you can select the

temperature that meets your comfort level.

The point is, once you’ve set the

thermostat, keep subsequent adjustments

to a minimum.

When you’re going to be away from

home for a few days, or when outdoor

temperatures are moderate, don’t let the

outdoor unit run unnecessarily. Lower

the thermostat to 55°F in the winter.

And raise it to 85°F in summer. Then

when you return, or when temperature

conditions dictate, you can reset the

system and it will resume making your

home comfortable again.

How to help reduce summer humidity.

In summer, your outdoor unit does more

than cool the air — it helps remove the

excess moisture that can make the inside

of your home feel muggy.

* Accessory, purchased separately. Carefully read the

accompanying thermostat manual for complete

operating instructions.

Call your dealer for additional

routine maintenance.

Your outdoor unit should be inspected

regularly by a properly trained service

technician.

For regular dealer maintenance please

refer to www.acca.org/industry/quality

Keep your outdoor unit

looking new for years.

Clean the enamel ﬁnish of your outdoor

unit with soap and water. For stubborn

grease spots, use a household detergent.

Do not use lacquer thinner or other

synthetic solvents as they may damage

the ﬁnish.

Extra Energy Tips

Insulation

1. Make sure your home is properly

insulated. This is the single most

important step in conserving

energy. Thermal insulation should

be speciﬁed in terms of thermal

resistance (R-values). R-30 (10")

is recommended for ceilings,

R-11 (3-1/2") for exterior walls

and ﬂoors over unheated areas. In

colder climates, consider additional

insulation.

2. Inﬁltration of humid outside air is

your heating and cooling system’s

worst enemy — it could account for

15 to 30% of air conditioning energy

requirements. Find the places where

air can sneak into the home and

plug them with caulking, weather-

stripping or plastic. Also, weather-

strip and caulk around all entrance

doors and windows.

3. Cut heat transfer through your

windows by 40 to 50% with

double glazing (two panes of glass

separated by a sealed air space) and

low-e glass.

4. Use wood- or metal-frame storm

windows even if single-glazed

windows are high quality. The extra

layer of glass and the layer of still air

will cut heat transfer considerably.

5. Install storm doors at all entrances

to your house.

6. Keep all windows and doors closed.

7. Remember that by increasing the

glass area, you increase the amount

of heat added in summer and lost in

winter.

8. Make sure ﬁreplaces have

tight-ﬁtting dampers which can be

closed when the ﬁreplace is not in

use.

9. Invest in a humidiﬁer to conserve

energy in winter. The air in your

home won’t be as dry, so you stay

comfortable at a lower temperature

setting.

Heating

10. Locate the thermostat on an inside

wall away from windows and doors.

11. Set the thermostat as low as comfort

permits. Each degree over 68°F can

add 3% to the amount of energy

needed for heating.

12. People generate heat. So lower the

thermostat a degree or two when

expecting a large group of guests.

Cooling

13. Set the thermostat as high as

comfort will permit.

14. Make sure attics are adequately

ventilated to relieve heat buildup.

If necessary, improve airﬂow by

adding or enlarging vents.

15. When building a new house or

renovating an old one, choose

light-colored roof shingles to reﬂect

more of the sun’s heat.

16. During moderate weather, don’t use

the system unnecessarily.

17. Draw blinds or drapes to block the

sunlight during the hottest part of

the day.

18. Install awnings over windows

exposed to direct sunlight.

19. In the cooling season, don’t run

kitchen and bath exhaust fans

longer than necessary.

20. Don’t place lamps, TV sets or other

heat producing devices beneath a

wall-mounted thermostat. Rising

heat from the equipment may cause

the system to over-cool your house.
